New Solo Holidays

We put a lot of pride into creating solo holidays where travelling independently never means compromising on quality – and this year, we’re opening up even more inspiring ways to explore.

Our newest solo journeys span Europe and farther afield, giving you the freedom to travel your way with the pleasure of like‑minded company whenever you want it.
Discover medieval charm and riverside beauty on our Dordogne, Albi & Carcassonne tour, or step into ancient history on our new Pompeii holiday. Welcome spring in full colour on Spring in the Netherlands: Amsterdam & the Tulips River Cruise, a gentle sailing through storybook landscapes. For something more adventurous, our Vietnam, Cambodia & Mekong River Cruise for Solo Travellers offers an unforgettable journey along Southeast Asia’s most atmospheric waterway.
And to finish the year in festive style, two brand‑new solo cruises — Christmas on the Danube and New Year on the Danube — offer magical celebrations in Europe’s grandest cities.
Wherever you choose to go, every new solo holiday is crafted with care, curiosity and the comfort that makes travelling with us feel effortlessly rewarding.
